Demystifying and De-medicalizing

The allocation of resources must be explicit Decision-making at all levels must be open Medicine must be de-mystified and health de-

medicalized, for professionals, patients, the general public and politicians alike

Public health / health policy is thus multi-disciplinary, and multi-stakeholder

Reference: Gray, 2004 (pp. 317-318), modified

“Pharmacology” of Health Policy

DYNAMICS and the mechanism of action: Will an intervention reduce the risk?

KINETICS and the response of the system: Will the intervention for the main concern increase other

risks? (i.e., adverse effects)

THERAPEUTICS and delivery: Is it operationally possible to introduce the intervention?

How has health policy developed over timein the Philippines?

Historiography of PH Public Health

Spanish era: reordering of Philippine society American era: a civilizing mission to prepare Filipinos

for independence; governance through sanitation, health, hygiene, medical and scientific institutions, medical and health professions Public schools and school children as agents for public

health work Educational, medical, and scientific research institutions as

training and preparation “laboratories”

Leading to “Filipinization” of the bureaucracyReference: Planta, 2008

Note: Population counts projected for FY 2013 (except for DSWD numbers); rounded off to the nearest million.• Poverty incidence by NEDA/NSO is only a statistical

estimate• DSWD’s NHTS-PR and 4Ps/CCT, while with data on names,

faces, and places, may not have enlisted all the “real poor”

• The DOH thus uses Q1 + Q2 for planning estimates, with reliance on the DSWD’s NHTS-PR and 4Ps/CCT for targeting/identification
